Power consumption/power backup device-based ride-through system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a power backup engine that is configured to:
• monitor an amount of power provided by a power supply system to one or more components;
• determine, based on the amount of power provided by the power supply system to the one or more components, a ride-through time period for which a power storage subsystem is capable of powering the one or more components;
• detect a loss of power to the one or more components;
• and
• cause the power storage subsystem to power the one or more components for the ride-through time period.

A method for providing a power consumption/power backup-based ride-through for one or more components, comprising:

• monitoring, by a power backup device, an amount of power provided by a power supply system to one or more components;
• determining, by the power backup device based on the amount of power provided by the power supply system to the one or more components, a ride-through time period for which the power backup device is capable of powering the one or more components;
• detecting, by the power backup device, a loss of power to the one or more components;
• and
• powering, by the power backup device, the one or more components for the ride-through time period.
